For the second time in four days, a coronavirus projection model heavily relied upon by the White House task force has been updated, again dropping the number of projected deaths and hospitalizations.
The Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington dropped its estimated death projection on Sunday for the first wave of the pandemic to 81,766 deaths, down from 93,531.

True!
incredible

Signaling to everyone that he’s been on the payroll of the Chinese.
Where are the whiners condemning this?
- Approximately $1 Trillion in economic damage to U.S. economy
- 16,500 U.S. deaths so far
That means we are paying $1,939,393,939.39 per death, and no one really knows how many of those pegged at COVID deaths really died from the disease. They could have had Stage 4 cancer and had other severe health issues, but it they contracted COVID, the government says they died of COVID.
Pity that Vegas is shut down. They could do bets on what the final number will be.
Guessing less than 50,000.
well the experts are now within hailing distance of my (one guy, no money, no medical models, no millions of dollars, hundreds of bureaucrats, etc.) simple static estimate of 45,990 additional deaths due to covid based on comorbidity from a couple of weeks back on worldometers and the most recent tallys of cause of deaths from the cdc.
Dems hit hardest by the latest news.
I heard a brief time ago that the original model was out of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation or its supportees.
Good.
Given the catastrophic inaccuracy of such models, everyone will have to revise the junk-science models used for Gore Bull Warming as well.
The pandemic models are at least based on an actual disease going on tight now. The “climate cretins” rely on inferred, fudged, and made-up data to mortgage everyone’s future.
Assuming that the original model assumed no social distancing/quarantine, I would expect the estimates to come down.
That said, I have no idea if the models did or didn’t assume quarantining.
Regardless, I’m curious to see the original projections. Does anyone have a “Day One” screen shot or data point?
Can we fire the FakeDocs for their dependence on a faulty model??
2 billion per death...???
I have some old semi useless aunts...

GTFOH
It won’t be anything near that unless they keep counting until Auguust and cooking the numbers
In Minnesota, the Governor (a Democrat) and the department of health have IMHO, said during press conferences that they are pursuing a worst case scenario in which the peak will not hit us until July.
Thanks!
The death estimate is for deaths that will happen by August 4, 2020. What happens after that?
These models are about as accurate as the fake media polls leading up to an election
Vince Foster actually died of the Corona virus.
